That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

Solid solid B

 

Not a sexy draft but a fundamentally sound draft that this franchise needed.  Only pick that I am dubious of is the brazzel pick, just seems like a one trick pony from a disney offense.  Kindof wish we went LB there.  Also wish we could have gotten at least one more olineman somewhere but you cant fix everything at once.

 

Overall on paper mulitple players should contribute in the upcoming years.

Yup. Much better options at WR still were on the board.  I think they were going for his height as a RZ target since we missed out on a TE.

I will stand by my opinion that we didnt need to go WR at all this draft.  Keep playing XL, keep developing horn.  I dont think Braz is going to move the needle at all this season.   That TE from Ohio St would have been an interesting pick.  As would Joly

If I'm not mistaken every TE prospect except Joly were taken before our selection.

So much bup, bup, bup and big men allow you to compete in this draft.

Bring back the Gettleman soundboard please.

Very solid draft. Could have gone flashy in the first couple rounds but chose to hit positions of need with two solid picks. Fifth round obviously was huge. I’ll say A-/B+. You’ll have a hard time finding 10 drafts better than ours.

The worst thing he did was trade up 2 slots. Which I don’t consider bad at all but some people were raging. 
 

The overlooking of ILB was unfortunate but if you are gonna do that, at least do it for your front and that’s the way it went. As far as the players, nobody knows the future. They were all sound decisions. 

There are still players with potential that will be cut at the end of preseason.  I’m sure Dan will be scouring the waiver wire for ILb.  It sucks that we’re not as high on the waiver wire priority as previous seasons but, maybe that’s an indication of progress in our roster rebuild.

I like the draft class and hopefully we get some surprise impacts but I don’t have a warm fuzzy feeling that we’ll get true impact/above average starters. Just getting a starter is nice but we’ve had a ton of recent draft picks that played a lot and we’re still JAGs to be replaced.

I’m hoping we get surprised by a couple true impact starters that make the team better not just replace guys like Scott or XL or Corbett.

When was the last time a waiver wire pickup became a starter? If a player wasn’t drafted by us, signed in real free agency, signed as a UDFA right after the draft or stolen off another teams PS after the draft (like Butker), there’s basically zero chance the player will ever be useful.

It’s like our love of 7th rounders, they won’t do anything.

Coming into this draft, a lot of what I wanted would have made our team more dynamic, and explosive but missing some parts. 

after this draft, Dan definitely made this team feel more complete and filled in the holes.

Love the Freeling pick even more after watching his pressers. Dude is sharp and definitely seems to have the right mentality. I loved hearing how personal he took having a bad game with a torn labrum and instead of seeing that as the reason for his bad game and not changing anything, it motivated him to work even harder. Such a great pick, we finally got our all pro level LT for the next decade and now we can move Ickey to RT or guard with no hurt feelings due to his injury.

Second favorite pick is probably Brazzell. He said he false started on his 40 and it cost him probably 0.04 seconds, so he’s more of a 4.33 guy rather than 4.37. Really Randy Moss lite. I didn’t know anything about him prior to drafting him and first highlight reel I saw of him I immediately thought he looked like Moss. Then I saw the measurables and was like yep. Then I see that he’s drawn that comparison by many scouts and analysts. If he can add consistency and play to the level of his highlights every play then we got an incredible value.

Oh, and edit to add I freaking love our 7th round pick. Perfect pick there. Take a shot on a guy with all the size and measurables and just limited reps/production and see if he can be coached up. At minimum we got a big, fast guy who can tackle for special teams.

I wasnt disgusted or confused about any pick, which is rare.

Kuwatch - This is a Dan Morgan pick.  The guy has elite speed.  Rated 387 but mostly because he only had one year of experience.  Love this pick 

Look at who the lbs were at Ohio State. The poor bastard didn't have a chance to play until he transferred.
